Denied a goal or clear chance: can you referee this?

Question 1 of 10Law 12
A defender pulls an attacker’s shirt to stop a promising attack (SPA). The referee applies the advantage as the attacker gets free of the opponent and runs with the ball into the penalty area. After that, the same defender catches up with the attacker, challenges for the ball in a reckless manner and fouls the attacker (no DOGSO offence). What is the correct decision?

Every answer here is IFAB applying their own Laws rather than the Law itself. The clauses are on the Law pages, and the denied a goal or clear chance walk reasons a decision out one question at a time, citing the clause at each step.
